God Bless America:

“Even though bald eagles were delisted from the Endangered Species Act in August 2007, because their populations recovered sufficiently, bald eagles are still protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Both laws prohibit killing, selling, or otherwise harming eagles, their nests or eggs.”

The bald eagle, a symbol of the power and strength of the United States for more than 240 years Unlike Old Joe, a symbol of feebleness and corruption for 78 years.

Exactly. Windmills have probably killed more of them than any other cause.
